This week, we review the under-rated and under-appreciated military sci-fi, alien invasion thriller, "Battle: Los Angeles." And, we have a lot of nice things to say about it. No, really, we do. The four of us like or love it to varying degrees, but I think we're all a bit baffled as to this movie's low scores & negative reviews. - How many cast & crew names does Todd butcher during the rundown? - Which co-host(s) agreed that this is not a deep or thoughtful movie (at least not all the time) but that it does have great moments & depicts people being well-trained, skilled, and working well together? - Which co-host(s) appreciated the movie's small mission for its protagonists, rather than the save-the-whole-world-at-once missions common in more typical Hollywood action movies? - What strategies & other military aspects of both the humans & the aliens did the co-hosts appreciate. - Which co-host brought up the movie's appreciable lack of shaky-cam, and how many co-hosts immediately agreed? - What other cinematic techniques & narrative aspects did the co-hosts like in the movie? - There's one scene that is a favorite of 3 or 4 of the co-hosts because of how smart & well-trained it depicts a main character. What is the scene, and who was the first one to bring it up? - Which co-host teared up a little bit upon the last line of dialogue in the movie, and which co-host had the last line of the movie as a major nitpick? - And, which co-host gave this a top rating? Listen now for the answers to these and other questions. Grab your 8 to 10 magazines of ammunition, first aid kit, combat rifle & bayonet, bivy shelter & sleeping bag, poncho, knee & elbow pads, multi-tool, helmet with night vision optics, 3 MREs, 1 gallon of water, extra socks & undergarments, 2 to 4 grenades, a white smoke grenade, a yellow smoke grenade, a thermite grenade, a phosphorus grenade, handgun, and assorted maps & compasses -- all 65 pounds of typical Marine gear -- as we face off against aliens in Battle: Los Angeles. And, be careful. That's "Battle - colon (:) - Los Angeles." "Battle *of* Los Angeles" is a TV movie made for Syfy by The Asylum. Stay tuned in future weeks for our reviews of Jack the Ripper thriller, "From Hell;" one of the best conclusions to one of the best trilogies, "Back to the Future, Part 3;" and the romantic time-travel fantasy, "About Time" (probably in that order, but BttF3 definitely episode #088). We have to discuss it more internally, but hopefully we'll have another installment each of Alpha-Movie-Bet and What Should Andruw Watch? before our season 2 finale (episode 100).

Can a computer convince Matt and Scott that it's a human? What should a fantasy author know before writing his or her tale? Can you be 100% certain about something and still be wrong? Matt and Scott investigate these cognitively salubrious quandaries in the fourth installment of their quirkily euphonious podcast.

When the bards aren't playing their tunes (or at least listening to them), they're facing down the fiercest, biggest bad guys in all of MMOs. It's at this point of conflict that they raise a finger and say to the Undead Lord of Hell, "Oh hey, is this song included on the official soundtrack?" That's right, it's an entire episode devoted to "epic" boss battles! How epic is up to each of the hosts' interpretation, but it's pretty dang entertaining nevertheless.
